About Me

Marguerite Gilmore

Marguerite Gilmore
I’ve been obsessed with plants since I was a kid, sneaking seeds from my mom’s garden to grow in old tin cans by the back porch. There’s something about watching something small turn into something alive that never gets old.

I aim to make gardening approachable, whether you’re a beginner with a windowsill or a veteran with a full plot.
